Because it’s never too early to keep you guys updated as far as new bag arrivals are concerned, here’s your quick first look at Louis Vuitton’s Speedy Bandouliere 30 Voyage Stickers, which is officially set to be released in Singapore (and around the region) come 1 October 2016, though honestly I’ve already been seeing it pop up all over Instagram.

Simply put, it’s basically a Speedy Bandouliere 30 (you know, a Speedy but with a sling) and with ‘stickers’, actually printed graphics that you’ll find on the front and the side of the bag. Reminiscent of the stickers we’ve all seen during Louis Vuitton’sSeries 3 exhibition in Singapore, there’s no doubt that it’s definitely a fun bag, with flamingos, a vintage sports car and a steering wheel (???) all thrown in for good measure. Priced at SGD2330, the 30 cm by 21 cm bag will also come in a miniature version, the Nano Speedy (also with sling) which will retail for SGD1510.

Cute yes, but here’s my question. Would you stick to the classics and just get the plain Speedy, or is this something that you’ll want to add to your collection as well? What say you? Oh, and in case you’re wondering, the Nano Speedy measures 16 cm by 12.5 cm.

I love the Petite Malle, Louis Vuitton’s now-iconic hard-sided box clutch that comes with a sling. Inspired by the French luxury house’s heritage as far as its spirit of travel (and their to-die-for travel trunks) is concerned and I’ve also loved almost every interpretation of it, from being clad in Monogram Canvas and Damier Ebene to quilted leathers, each more desirable than the next.

And then there’s this, which is from a new collection called Stickers. Meant to be fun and whimsical, this particular Petite Malle comes covered in printed glossy Verniswith, you guessed it, stickers. Not actual stickers you can peel and reuse (or even peel from a sticker sheet and apply yourself), but comes as part of the print. Which frankly is ghastly, part 50s-housewife, part retro-dinner and all weird.

In other words, do I love this rendition? No.

No. No. No.

But if you have some USD5500 to spare, be my guest, though honestly there are much more classically elegant variations out there you should buy instead.

Since Nicolas Ghesquière took the helm at Louis Vuitton, there have been some major, stand-out handbag moments for the brand. The Petite Malle, while quite expensive, has grown a major fan following along with other designs. Recently I shared the Monogram Infrarouge, a new black and red twist on the classic Monogram, and if you ask us, the Fall 2015 collection is filled with the best bags from the brand in recent memory.

It looks like the sticker trend we've seen from Anya Hindmarch and other brands is something Ghesquière likes as well. The new Louis Vuitton sticker pattern brings a new edge to the Monogram Vernis leather. The feel of the pattern is very retro-contemporary, with vintage-feeling stickers on white glossy Vernis leather. The stickers include the Petite Malle Bag, as well as lipstick, nail polish, headphones, cars, and salt and pepper shakers. Each sticker has a vintage feel and gives a very old school look to classic LV designs.

The Louis Vuitton Sticker Collection comes in a variety of items, including scarves, but as far as the handbags go, it's available in the Alma PM, Alma BB, Petite Malle and Pochette Accessoires. Because the pattern looks busier on the larger PM version, I think BB gives the right amount of print against the black and white Vernis. Prices range from $910 to $5,500 via Louis Vuitton.
